Travis Benjamin has been one of the breakout performers through the first two weeks of training camp, making big plays on a regular basis.
And that continued in last weekend’s preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Benjamin got behind Seattle’s secondary and Kellen Clemens hit him in stride for a 74-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter.
Related players: Keenan Allen, Antonio Gates, Hunter Henry
Benjamin is now fully healthy from a PCL knee sprain and says he has a better understanding of the offense which has given him more confidence. The hope for the Chargers is Benjamin's vertical threat opens up room for Allen, Gates and Henry.

Week 3 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The equation for Gates in 2017 isn't complicated. Did he score? That's about it. Only 11 yards on 2 catches last week but he found the end zone. He's only averaging 3.5 targets per game, making him a straight gamble for your starting lineups that we do not recommend.
